Ashley Rickards lit up puno burol last season as Sam Walker, the runaway foster child. While there's no news about her returning this season on One puno Hill, we're very hopeful! We caught up with Ashley to dish about what it was like being so young on set and what her paborito part of playing Sam was. Read on for deets!
How would you say you're like and unlike your character Sam?
I'm like Sam as in I don’t really care what people think of me. But I'm not like Sam with the fact that I have a family.
How do you feel about the departure of Chad Michael Murray?
He's such a good actor. I hope he does really well in pelikula and stuff. I wish him all the best. I will miss him on the show.
Do you think it's going to change the ipakita a lot?
No. I think that there will be different story lines but I don’t think the ipakita will be any better or worse without him. I mean, we'll definitely miss him and there be a huge, huge tagahanga base that'll just really pag-ibig to have Chad back but, who knows, maybe he'll come back for like an episode just to appease us all.
Were you a tagahanga of the ipakita before you joined the cast?
I actually hadn’t watched it before. And then when I got it, I started watching all the DVDs and I quickly became a fan. It's very addicting and I just started watching it from season one all the way up to season six when I was on it and it's really good! So I was a tagahanga after I booked it.
What shows were you a tagahanga of before you were cast on the show?
I watched The Tudors and The United States of Tara. I watch American Idol; I'm a huge Adam Lambert fan. Other than that, I kind of watch the news, like CNN and stuff.
So what do you think of your character going back to live with her mom?
I'm happy for her. That's every foster kid's dream, to find their real family and she had a great family with Brooke, but there is always going to be that part of her that just wants her actual mother to be a mother figure and to give her that chance, no matter how much she resents her for leaving her. She's always going to have a soft spot and she's never going to be able to say no to that. So I hope it works out. I hope she's happy.
What's been your paborito part of playing Sam?
The clothes and stuff aren't stuff that I would normally wear, so it's been really fun to dress up and play somebody else for a change. That's really cool.
What's your personal style like?
I go between preppy and I wear a lot of hippie dresses. I guess preppy slash hippie would be my style.
You estola some stuff out of Brooke's store on the show. Which celeb's closet would you pag-ibig to raid?
Kim Kardashian has been dressing really well. But I want to raid Fergie's closet 'cause I saw her closet in a magazine and it looked pretty incredible.
What's it like being one of the younger members of the cast?
Oh, it's a lot of fun. I actually would hang out with Kelsey Chow, she plays Gigi on the show, and she's 17 too, so we would hang out. It was just good to be with older people because generally I tend to gravitate towards the older mature people and it was just good to be around those people. And I learned a lot from them because they're older and wiser, as you say.
Growing up, what were some of your paborito pelikula that depicted high school?
My paborito movie, and I don’t know if it took place in high school, was Muriel's Wedding with Toni Collette. That was a while back but it was a great movie. And high school movies? Superbad was awesome.
What would you pag-ibig for Sam to do in high school on the show?
I'd pag-ibig to see Sam go to prom. I think that'd be a really interesting episode if that ever happens.
Who do you think she'd go with?
I think she'd go with Jack.
What kind of dress would she wear?
Black. Something edgy, something very very dark and edgy.

Well, everyone on the OTH site has the couples they'd die for and all but all the fighting is annoying, knowone can state why they pag-ibig BL, LP, JP, KK or whoever without a death match.
The reason I wrote this is to say maybe a little madami 'understanding' is needed for it all. Just post who u like and why and leave the fighting out, they have LP vs. BL spot so fight someone their.
Anyway just say one reason why u like him/her or whatever and have a real talk with someone u might not see couple to couple with. OTH is so couple based (thnx Mark) still it does ruin it for fans but i'm doing this so ppl can learn to play nice when everyone is in pag-ibig with their couples. Lately everones been talking abut it so it would be good to try and be nice cause we all pag-ibig the ipakita and thats why were here :)

They fell in pag-ibig and let them be in love. Their pag-ibig is as strong as jack and rose on the Titanic. Lucas loves her and he would still be with her if he knew how she felt about him. Lucas pag-ibig her so please let him pag-ibig her. She wrote 82 letters over the summer one evrey day. She never mailed them because she was afraid to get hurt like last time. He forgave her for being with someone else. They were in love. They had trust, caring and happines in their relationship. People only look at brooke and say shes a whore. But SHE LOVES HIM!!! She gave him her puso and trusted him with it. She loves him like he loves her. She was hurt from the first time and the segundo so let her have her pag-ibig back.
